1930 Perth Sovereign PCGS MS62
Although typically considered more available than the 1929-P sovereign, the 1930-P sovereign appears with far lower frequency on the market than either the 1929-P and 1931-P sovereigns. In fact, I would say the 1930-P sovereign is more difficult than the 1930-M sovereign in equivalent grade. Both the PCGS Population Report and my own sales records bear this out: PCGS has graded 59 examples of the 1930-M sovereign, but only 31 examples of the 1930-P (7/14). Meanwhile, I have sold nine 1930-M sovereigns since October 2011, but only one 1930-P. This date is scarce, although it seems the market hasn’t cottoned on yet. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
